When a game is successful despite all the predictions, the logical step is to attack the players.

Yeah it's the only weapon I use in Crucible too. I like Hawkmoon better but ultimately performance counts and TLW is what j do best with.
I'vE racked up around 20k kills in the Crucible. Exactly 26 of them have been with Pulse Rifles. I can't convey how bad I hate using that weapon class, can't stand it. If the mets ever gives PRs too big an advantage I might have to stop playing Crucible. In the meantime, HC love is real.
I have both, but I still prefer TLW. I use a sniper for long range though. I feel like most Thorn users go with a Shotgun
and probably Blink a lot because they are jerks ;-p
I am currently trying to max out the Red Death. That health regen seems super useful. I wanna use that with my Warlock with Ram helm. I wanna be that guy.

It was planned for the weekend itself based on your post last week.
Looks like you have the most free time on Saturday, so we'll try and set it up for then.

Nah you're pretty much set. I think Spare Change is from crucible.
I've had ash factory and hopscotch pilgrim both drop at one point and I was too quick to dismantle them
What have I done?figadapaura

It is a Crucible drop. Isn't there another rocket launcher that's pretty rare?
The Ash Factory is the only dropped RL i'm aware of. Well the Queen's RL too but that's another thing. I'm so happy I finally got the roll I wanted on my Factory, it looks great

Well, it got wayyyyyyy off topic for about a page's worth (
blame Fracas
Great.... Now I'm even more hyped!
The argument is ridiculous, and the debate over it is even more ridiculous because it boils down to one simple fact: Destiny is damn fun to play.
I got a Wastelander V2V with the god roll.

Try it on Oracles at least next time you find yourself in VoG.
OHK is glorious. But found verdict is so much better with the shotgun buff. If only Bungie had not screwed up FR's so bad. I used to love using them.

yup, cant wait for the bow so that the hunter feels less like a lone wolf and more part of the cohesive unit member for high level content. The hunter was a wrecking ball in CE, but it really didnt have anything to do with helping the team. it was still lone wolf strategy either running sword or invis through the abyss. Its pretty helpful in POE also but mostly after someone already died. it doesn't help keep the team alive to begin with. Either way. the hunter is fun to play.

I'll try.

I'm almost certain there's a blue rocket launcher that drops in Crucible.
Could be that one.

I'm pretty excited for the new hunter abilities as well, I just hope that we will be a decent support class and the new moves/abilities will be useful for raid encounters and pvp as well.
I'm also super excited for the golden hammer haha, ended up deleting one of my 3 hunters and made a titan for to be able to use it

Ok, so after all the comments about it in this thread and the fact that I feel like I die to it more than to Thorn, I'm gonna start using The Last Word. I'll have to practice a lot though, never felt right for me like Hawkmoon.
What's the recommended setup for The Last Word? Should I just forget autofire and squeeze the trigger for each shot?

Aggressive Ballistics/Perfect Balance
Auto-fire from the hip if someone is running at you. Don't auto-fire if they're far away. You kinda just have to get the feel for it and learn when it's best to do what. It'll come to you.
I thought your hate for Pulse Rifles burned hotter than a thousand suns.
It does. But I'm using them to finish the grimoire card. Once I'm done with that, no more.

More like I need a post-lunch cup of coffee, TBH. I am mixing lack of sleep with digesting food right now. Summer heat wave insomnia, sadly. Another reason I won't do PvP before bedtime is that I can't get any sleep later with the adrenaline still flowing. On weekends I am fully recharged, at least.
Also no energy drinks... On diet
I'm going to keep doing the House of Wolves Storyline. Right now my priority should be to opeby Prison of Elders.
That sidearm grimoire though...

I would love for necro to be a pulse rifle. Unnnngghh
The video didn't actually say that, right? More like Destiny was the more "egregious" instance of it or something
Man I really feel like the nerf hit other people harder than it hit me somehow. Damage wasn't touched; the spread only affected shots from ranges that FRs really shouldn't have been killing people in one hit. I guess it could've been PvP only though. Anyway there's a ton of variance in spreads between different rifles. Give/Take Equation has a ridiculously tight spread to this day.
Seems to me like the combo of the shotgun PvE buff (which happened at the same time as the spread nerf) and widespread easy availability of the crazy-tier shotguns in PvP affected their role waaaay more than the spread nerf itself did. I really believe people just underestimate their effectiveness in light of the fact that shotguns are obviously much more effective from close range; but Destiny pushes the absolute limits of what could be considered "close range" for a shotgun. I'm really not sure a buff to FRs would be appropriate, at least not before a shotgun range nerf on its own and something to dull Blink + Shotgun.
There's a time for each but unless it's super close quarters and you need to counter a shotgun firing manually generally works better. You'd be surprised the range you can get out of that gun if you squeeze manually.
Don't remind me. I'm at 323-5 kills.

I'm at 4000/5000 kills without even farming for it. It's great to use during patrols, dailies etc.

Tomato, tomahto.
Dismantle mines... or die.
Come on, how satisfying is meleeing the mine itself to reup invis from Escape Artist?
Still, it is sort of still the same lone wolf utility so I definitely get what you're saying. It'll be awesome to blind some stuff from one angle, call out a big target and fire off a bow shot to get the team to focus fire on it.

I think I have 12 Sidearm kills.
No, but I was going based on the opinions of those in the thread. To some, it feels like Bungie should be arrested for manipulating people into buying and playing their game.
Everyone, go pick up all those orbs, pronto.
How many left the game after that?
The Warlock is the same way, really. They hold their supers as an ace in the hole rather than use Radiance as a team buff.
